In Detail

Every Step, Explained

1. Free home consultation

Share your address and a recent utility bill. We pull satellite imagery, model your roof's solar potential, and prepare a tailored design — usually within 24 hours. No obligation.

2. Custom design & financing review

We sit down (in person or via video) to walk through panel layout, production estimates, financing terms ($0 down / 0% APR options), and projected savings under your specific PG&E or SCE rate plan.

3. Permits, install, and PTO

Our in-house team handles city permits, HOA paperwork, the install itself (1–2 days for most homes), inspection, and Permission to Operate from your utility. You don't lift a finger.

4. Activation & ongoing support

Once PTO clears, we activate your system, set up monitoring on your phone, and stay on call for the life of the equipment. 25-year panel & inverter warranty, plus our local workmanship warranty.

FAQs

Common Questions

How long does the whole process take?

From signed agreement to flipping the switch is typically 6–10 weeks in Kern County. The actual rooftop install is just 1–2 days; the rest is permits, inspection, and utility approval.

Do I need to be home for the install?

Someone should be home for the brief electrical shutoff (usually 30–60 minutes). For the rest of the rooftop work, you’re free to come and go.

What if my roof needs work first?

We’ll flag any concerns during the design visit. We have trusted local roofers we coordinate with so the panels go on a roof that’ll outlast them.
